Product Description
Tamron 70-180mm F2.8 Sony FE Mount Lens Di III VXD
Capture a wide variety of perspectives with the Tamron 70-180mm F2.8 Sony FE Mount Lens Di III VXD. Designed specifically for mirrorless full format Sony bodies, this fast telephoto zoom offers users a versatile 70-180mm focal length and maximum f2.8 six-blade aperture for capturing dramatic scenes in various lighting. This lens is great for a variety of photographic applications, from snapping expressive portraits to wildlife to detailed close-ups, and more. Featuring a high-speed VXD autofocus for capturing fast moving subjects no matter how near or far, several multi-coated optical elements to prevent aberrations and ensure sharpness across the frame, and a lightweight but durable construction to guarantee impressive performance wherever, whenever. Benefit from optimum image quality thanks to the advanced technology adopted by the Tamon 70-180mm lens.
High-speed Focusing
The Voice-Coil Extreme-Torque Drive – VXD autofocus, ensures focusing performance is fast, precise, and quiet – beneficial when shooting moving objects that are near and far. The internal focusing system allows for better handling when shooting as it prevents the barrel from extending and rotating when focusing.
A special feature of the Tamron 70-180mm F2.8 Sony is its ability to focus an object at 70mm with manual focus from a short distance of only 0.27m2.
Preventing Optical Aberrations
The lens configuration is made up of 14 groups and 19 elements, including LD (Low Dispersion) elements and XLD (Extra-low Dispersion) elements. The elements are arranged strategically to ensure they efficiently reduce chromatic aberrations and deliver edge-to-edge sharpness across the entire zoom range.
A multi-coating technology named BBAR G2 has been applied to ensure images are clear with natural colours. It combats ghosting and flare when working in difficult light conditions, such as backlighting, to deliver uniform images no matter the lighting.
Shooting Capabilities
The minimum focus distance is only 0.85m, no matter the selected focal length, and the maximum image scale is 1:4:6 which is an advantage for capturing expressive close-ups with stunning detail.
With a maximum f2.8 six-blade aperture, the user can capture a variety of perspectives in different lighting and achieve a lusciously smooth bokeh effect.
Durable Construction
The Tamron 70-180mm lens features a moisture resistant construction and features special sealing in critical areas, ensuring this lens is splash-proof and delivers consistent operation when working outside in challenging conditions. The front lens is coated in a fluorine coating to prevent oil, water, and other contaminants from sticking to the surface. If contaminants do become stuck to the surface, such as fingerprints or dirt, the coating allows the user to easily remove when on the go.
The addition of the Zoom Lock mechanism ensures secure transportation by preventing unwanted extension of the tube when on the go. The lock is activated by a switch for efficient use.
